Five years ago I paid $500.00 for a NIB nickel version from an estate sale here in my neighborhood. Around 2014 I paid $300.00 for a factory re-blue with no box. I haven’t seen any for sale since, but would think prices would start at $500.00 for a used one.
Your first big challenge is finding one! I haven't seen any snubby Model 15s for sale in years. My wife inherited this one from her grandfather- he was an LEO in the Republik of Kalifornia in the 50s thru 70s. It's a mint 15-2 from 1962, and an excellent shooter...my wife qualified for her CCW with this revolver. Although this 15-2 is a family heirloom and NFS, I would expect a similar revolver, similar condition, to sell for upwards of $700. There just don't seem to be many out there, and vintage snubby revolvers are pretty popular right now. Good luck with your hunt!

I bought a 15-4 for $500 last year. It's the first and only 2" 15 that I've ever seen in NC. The finish wasn't in the best shape, but it locks up and shoots much nicer than I would have ever thought possible. If you can get your hands on one, I think they are great additions to any revolver enthusiast's collection.
Depending on condition, anywhere from $300 to $800. I have seen a couple sell for over $1000 but were basically unfired in the box.
I know it would take that $800 to $1000 to pry my 15-3 2" from me.

I recently put my 2" 15-2 (July, 1968) in my display case for $775. The high shooter grade generated a lot of interest but no takers so far.
I have two, but they are the only two I’ve seen in the wild. Happened to pick these up 3 months apart in 2018; both were under $600. I had one black nitrided for CCW. I wouldn’t sell either for less than a grand.

That would be like bargain basement pricing if someone tried to buy my 15-2...Ain't for sale...

The book match on those grips is really something else. Very nice.
Thank you, I could not believe the match when they showed up. Probably not everybody's first choice for color, but I was feeling adventurous when I ordered them

In GA, I paid 450 for a nice 15-7 2 years ago - I suspect it would bring 550-600 today?

I bought a very nice nickel 15-3 two inch for $650 about 3 years ago. A handful of months before or after I acquired the nickel one, I paid $600 for an equally nice 2" blued 15-3. I really don't think I'd take less than $775 for either right now, although neither are for sale and probably never will be.

I stumbled across this 15-3 at a gun show back in 2019 for $475.
